All ?
I?ve done a quite a bit of work with my Seattle Gazelle, and I just did
some work on 86DOS.SYS (not released in source form, as far as I know) and its comparison
to PC DOS 1.0 (at the code level, a very high correlation as you can imagine). Partially
related to that is a program called ?20HAL? which was a code uploader Microsoft used in
the late stages to get code from Microsoft in Bellevue to IBM in Boca Raton, FL. I did a
little write-up on it here (
http://www.classiccmp.org/cini/hal.htm)
There are some holes in the analysis ? I think it?s pretty close, though
-- but I?d really like to get some more details on it. Unfortunately, it?s 40-year-old
code at this point, and how many people remember how they used a file transfer utility
that long ago?
Anyway, enjoy the read. If anyone sees any corrections that need to be
made, let me know. Thanks!
Rich
